For YouTube
YouTube, without visual spoilers
Blurs YouTube thumbnails under an acrylic veil and hides Shorts. Hover previews are optional.
Chrome Web Store — Coming soon
Firefox Add-ons — Coming soon
How it works
Three switches. Blur stays on.
-
Blur thumbnails
On by default, including while hovering.
-
Show hover previews
Off by default: the thumbnail stays blurred and the preview does not start. On: hovering clears the image and the preview plays clear, on home, search, and /watch.
-
Blur search results
Off by default, so videos on /results stay clear.
Shorts
Shorts stay hidden.
- Shelves
- Cards, including in search
- Guide entry
- Channel tab
There is no switch. The Shorts player itself is not hidden.
Privacy
Nothing leaves the browser.
The only permission is storage. The three switches stay in the browser’s local storage. BlurTube collects nothing and sends nothing.
